Here is the debut album from this noise-pop band from the Atlanta, GA area, released on Tooth & Nail Records in 1995. It was produced by Steve Hindalong of The Choir, and engineered by Chris Colbert of Fluffy, Duraluxe, and Breakfast With Amy fame. Noise-pop combines delicate lead vocals, celestial harmonies and hummable melodies, with grunge-laden grinding guitars and a driving rhythm section. This creates a deliberate tension between the singer (and composer) and the instrumentation. 'I write these beautiful, nice songs, and then the band destroys them,' commented lead singer Lee Bozeman. HM magazine called it 'a cross between alternative and melodic punk.' Think of them as a harder variety of The Smiths, since Bozeman's voice is similar to Morrissey's, but comparisons to Starflyer 59, The Jam, The Throes, The Choir, and later Radiohead are cited by reviewers. Songs include: 'Pink Revenge,' 'South,' 'Champagne,' 'Bitter, Once Again,' 'Vanity,' 'Flaming Youth Flames On,' 'The Luxury Theme,' 'I Know What You Think About Me,' 'Kill the Famous' and 'Solid Gold.'
